December was a whirlwind. The fall was too for that matter. In and out of town, for both work and fun, events, parties, cookouts, bottle shares, there was a lot going on. In my travels I had the opportunity to reflect a bit and I think those reflections put 2019 into perspective – beer wise, […]

‘Tis the season for big, flavorful, warm, dark beers. If you’ve read the last few posts, while we don’t dig the short days, we do dig these winter seasonal beers – especially when they have been allowed to hibernate in a bourbon barrel. On deck today we have the Bourbon Barrel-Aged Drafty Kilt, a scotch […]

Howdy beer fans! It’s cold, it’s wet, it’s after Thanksgiving and the Christmas decorations are already up at my house. While the calendar still says it’s fall, it’s certainly feeling more like winter. Winter weather means winter beer. On deck today we have a fun one from Hexagon Brewing Company, Chocolate Jesus. This beer is […]

Howdy beer fans! This getting dark at 5:30 stuff is for the birds. I detest it. Going to work in the dark, coming home in the dark – it stinks. Fall is in full swing and much like spring, neither stick around that long in East Tennessee. The saving grace of the time change is […]

Collaborations are fun, especially when it’s a collaboration between two breweries that you know and love. In this case our friends at Abridged Beer Company and Alliance Brewing Company sat down together to make a New England Style IPA. As each brewery’s acronym is ABC, the Pythagorean Theorem came into the discussion (A2+B2=C2) and from […]

Well folks, it’s Saturday and I just mowed the grass. Those that know me know the following about me; mow the grass, earn a beer. Thems the rules. Being as my yard takes a bit more than an hour to mow, it’s mostly on a slope and I push mow it, a beer is the […]

It’s no secret that we dig our friends just up the road in Crozet, VA. Northern Lights IPA has come to the rescue on more than one trip into northern Virginia for work and Little Red Roostarr Coffee Cream Stout is a beer that the Mrs and I can both agree on. Another thing that […]
